Today I visited your namesake station. I thought that, while your now brittle bones lie in the coldness of your grave, you might like to know just how things are around there these days – more than 150 years since you shuffled off this mortal coil.

Well, I’ll start of by being completely honest. I was dismayed to see one of those silly plastic inflatable advertising doll things fluttering about. Quite frankly, it cheapens your image.

However, you’ll be pleased to know that the market guys are looking after water- every drop counts.

Now, this Zaragoza guy is stealing your limelight. There he is, metallically resplendent and you? Well, you’re nowhere to be seen, your legacy is being lost! Unless that’s you standing there in stony amputated neutrality. But there is no plaque so who’d know?

Anyway, life goes on. As you can see, we still have to buy our daily bread and we stand ready to protect you in the face of fire, natural disaster or any other unforeseen catastrophe.
